sprinklers and inground pool prep
All,
I have a modern 5-zone sprinkler system and recently purchased an in-ground pool. They said I'd need to deal with the existing sprinklers before they excavate for the pool. My question: Do I really have to do anything other than unscrew the sprinkler popups heads/rotor heads? As long as the particular zone that is effected is never pressurized, should'nt I be OK? Or do I absolutely positively have to cap the zones off at the valves? I doubt there is any pressure in the lines leading to the heads when the particular zone in question is not on, so i don't see why I have to dig a big hole and cap the entire zone at the valve. cj |

I think the problem is they don't know where the pipes are, and when they start digging there going to tear into them, possibly causing damage to other zones... |
